The summit ridge has lots of exposed stone that lends itself to fun, quintessential New England hiking. The trail takes you to High Ledge and you get views stretching out in multiple directions as you peek out of the trees.

The Canalside Trail is a short, rail trail that runs next to the Turner Falls Canal. The trail is completely flat, so it is an easy ride and gives you great views of the canal.

From this spot on Williamsburg Road, you can see Chapel Ledge and Chapel Falls. Chapel Ledge is a little harder to see because it's a fairly tall, peak almost directly above you in the trees. You can see, however, the trailhead for a hiking trail to the top of it here. Chapel Falls is a small, but pretty waterfall below you in Chapel Brook. This is a nice spot to pause and snap a few photos but be aware of cars coming and going from the trailhead.

South Sugarloaf Mountain, one of the two summits of Mount Sugarloaf, is a popular tourist spot in the Pocumtuck Range. It offers spectacular views of the Connecticut River, the Pioneer Valley, and the Pelham and Berkshire Hills. The mountain's unique feature is its arkose sandstone cliffs, easily visible from a distance, making it a worthy stop to capture some stunning photos.

From this spot on the Turner's Falls Bridge (or White Bridge) you get fantastic views over the Connecticut River and of Turner's Falls.

Atkins Reservoir is a large freshwater lake in Shutesbury, east of Amherst. Since it is a reservoir that supplies the nearby towns' drinking water, there is no swimming allowed but from this spot you get fantastic views over the water as you ride.
